Prime95 v30.3 - Page 14

DrobinsonPE · 2020-08-23, 23:25

I am not concerned with how much CERT work my computers get so this is just an observation on the behavior of Prime95 30.3 b3.

I noticed under Options/Resource Limits/Advanced, there is a setting called:

Certification work limit (% of CPU time): 10

It looks like the default setting is 10% of CPU time.

This setting does not appear to be working correctly as my slow computer (Celeron J4105) that does about 7.6 GHD/day received 5 CERT assignments today 08-23-2020 for a total of about 6.1 GHD of CERT work.

I am glad I can contribute that much CERT work as I still have plenty of time to get my regular assignment done before it expires.

If you look at the fine print in readme.txt, the setting is 10% of a circa 2015 quad-core computer. Yours is somewhat slower than that, so that 10% setting is a much higher percentage of your computer's CPU.

It is hard for me to make that 10% setting an actual 10% of your computer's CPU. I'm not happy with that part of the UI, but I've yet to come up with anything better

I'm with these guys...

I sometimes have problems with the advanced resources and limits dialog. I can make a change, like emergency RAM for example, then click "OK" and a warning appears saying that an integer value between 1 and 100 should be entered. The only way out of the dialog is to click "Cancel." Another pain-in-the-rear gift from Windows 10 it would seem. I have not had this happen with Windows 7 on my HP workstation. Every time MS does a big update, those requiring a reboot, something changes its behavior. This is a conversation for another place and time.

I normally do ECM work, but I'm trying out v30.3, and it has assigned me CERT work, on a 98 million exponent.
On my old, slow laptop this will take about 12 hours.

Will this involve a large upload at the end, and if so, how large?
I can see that it has generated a checkpoint file, but so far there is no indication of any progress in my terminal.

Is it safe to transfer this work onto a faster computer in order to get the job done quicker, by moving the worktodo.txt and the checkpoint file?

12 hours on an old computer is fine. It can contribute to the project.
The upload is not too big. You received a large download, but the upload is small.
You don't need to transfer the exponent. But if you wish to do so, you have to transfer all of the files associated with the exponent.

You have several corrupt proof files that you will need to delete. Are the zero sized? They all have the same MD5 hash.

The upload is tiny. You should definitely go to the Worker Windows dialog box and de-select getting cert work.

yes they were 0. Deleted and now now problem. Thanks

Now that I have determined that it won't overload my Internet connection, I am happy to test your new software by doing CERT assignments.

In addition, I doubt that you have many other users testing it using 32-bit Linux like me.

Which work type should I select in order to get only CERT assignments?

DrobinsonPE Aug 2020 137 Posts	I am not concerned with how much CERT work my computers get so this is just an observation on the behavior of Prime95 30.3 b3. I noticed under Options/Resource Limits/Advanced, there is a setting called: Certification work limit (% of CPU time): 10 It looks like the default setting is 10% of CPU time. This setting does not appear to be working correctly as my slow computer (Celeron J4105) that does about 7.6 GHD/day received 5 CERT assignments today 08-23-2020 for a total of about 6.1 GHD of CERT work. I am glad I can contribute that much CERT work as I still have plenty of time to get my regular assignment done before it expires.

Will this involve a large upload at the end, and if so, how large? I can see that it has generated a checkpoint file, but so far there is no indication of any progress in my terminal. Is it safe to transfer this work onto a faster computer in order to get the job done quicker, by moving the worktodo.txt and the checkpoint file?
